The Crying Bar Mitzvah Boy’s Song (4-Minute Moving Video)

What a moving video…to see bar mitzvah boy Natanel Dabush crying with gratitude for his life and for Hashem’s closeness at difficult times. Several commentors on the YouTube video explain that Dabush has an incredible personal story: he grew up nearly blind, and after many failed attempts to restore his sight over the years, he finally regained his vision shortly before his bar mitzvah. This boy has drawn a lot of attention–this video has received over half a million views. But when I’m watching him, I’m also thinking about the parents who are managing to raise a boy with such profound emuna and such a sensitive and good heart. Mazal tov!

Forgive me, Father, because I have sinned against you Forgive all my crimes On the days that I forgot You, you were always in my life All of the paths that I took you were actually the candle for my feet lighting the way I was blind and didn’t see beyond what my eyes saw

The King, King of Kings, thank you for life for happiness, tears, and laughter Also when it’s hard sometimes At those times you are never far away

Also when I walked on paths of darkness I trusted in You, my L-rd For the second half, a boy and a girl Thank you, also, for endless joy Thank you for the holidays For the Shabbat that guards That will never end forever Every day that passes on my path to Heaven I have kept you in sight.

The King, King of Kings, thank you for life for happiness, tears, and laughter Also when it’s hard sometimes At those times you are never far away

According to my reading of the story, He was partially blind before & G_d touched his eyes again while he was singing the song…see at 1m 30sec while his hands were outstretched, he suddenly (in a fright) grabs his eyes and starts crying. I believe YHWH touched his eyes for the 2nd time.

I happened to hear this video in a moment I needed it and it gave me much strength at that moment. It is amazing how one act can move another soul and sometimes many. We are here to be the messengers of others…we are all one unit which is God’s creation and the power to accomplish that unity is LOVE:)

The story is Fake (sorry to say this). This beautiful song is from his Bar Mitzvah. I have a friend who has spoken to the family. The song is amazing and I cry all the time when listen to the lyrics and when I see his tears in his eyes…

Undeniably, young Natanel is a exceptional child with a loving family. It remains unverified whether he had eye issues or simply sings with incredible emotion as befits this song. The family is clearly Sefardi and I’d like to know more about them.
